The Present: AI Isn’t Coming — It Already Arrived (and Brought Donuts)
-
AI adoption is not a distant fantasy—it’s happening now. Over 2,800 legal pros are already using AI in 2025 like it’s their trusty briefcase. And yes—some days that feels just as essential.
-
AI saves your attention span—and your wallet. Dealing with AI tools for research, contract review, and housekeeping tasks can reclaim up to 4 billable hours per week—translating into ballpark savings of $100,000 per lawyer.
-
The legaltech gold rush is on. Startups like Harvey, Luminance, and Spellbook raked in over one billion dollars this year. AI in law isn’t sci-fi—it’s venture capital’s favorite buzzword.
The Mid-Term Evolution: AI, But With Flair
-
It’s not “Lawyers vs. Robots.” It’s “Lawyers and Robots.” AI handles the grunt work. We bring judgment, strategy, humanity. We’re sidekicks, not side-by-synapse.
-
Brace for the 50% shock. As more routine tasks evaporate into code, legal education and training will change—think live mock cross-exams of AI tools instead of dusty tort lectures.
-
Legal access, reimagined. Picture a world where simple legal solutions are just a tap away—no billable hours, no courtroom drama—just swift justice.
The Risks: Because Even AI Has Mood Swings
-
Hallucinations are a thing. AI doesn’t always “know.” Sometimes it fabricates. Lawyers have been sanctioned over fake citations conjured by overconfident algorithms. Trust, but verify—or don’t dare.
-
Governance matters—yes, even in a command‑Z world. We all need clear rules: data protection, output vetting, and ethical guideposts. Boring? Maybe. But essential.
